Chapter 4 Deterring the Ministers (1)

Li Jun was wearing an imperial robe and holding a Shangfang sword in his hand. He walked around in front of the Imperial Guard and shouted loudly: "Pull up your spirits and let me see. If someone dares to escape, cut off his head. You, tighten your abdomen and stand up, look ahead. You, raise your head. You, be more energetic, and be more energetic. You, you, be a little further ahead. Be careful, don't let someone escape."

Li Jun is a war hero or a commander of the model division, and is not unfamiliar with leading troops. Standing in front of the Imperial Guard, it seems that he has returned to the former military camp, full of energy. Li Jun is an unpredictable person. He is generally believed to be the most powerful contender for the commander of the "First Division". In this position that many soldiers are crazy about, he unexpectedly gave up his position as the commander of the First Division and voluntarily went to a second-line division. He believed that it is good to go to the First Division, but it is even better to go to the Second-line Division. Bringing out an army that can conquer and fight can make more contributions to the motherland.

People are not allowed to admit that he is a man who can create miracles. With his efforts, the second-line division became a "model division" not long after, and made a sensation in military exercises many times. Even those main divisions were not as strong as him and were commended by the Military Commission and the great leaders.

Just when people generally believed that his future was limitless, he unexpectedly chose to retire again. After refusing his superiors' good intention of keeping him many times, he finally took off his military uniform and entered the campus as he wished.

Li Jun handed Shangfang's sword to Zhao Qian, who was wearing military uniforms, and said, "No matter who he is, as long as he wants to escape, he will chop it up for me." He sat on the table, picked up his brush and wrote at his desk.

"Why don't you leave? It's too late if you don't leave." Liu Chi lifted the curtains and asked at the servant: "Liu Qi, go and have a look. There are so many people here, why do you stop?"

Liu Qi muttered a few words in Liu Qi's ear. Liu Qi was extremely surprised and said, "The emperor is killing the ministers? How is this possible? Let us leave, but Shou and Shengfu agreed, and they also sent us the travel expenses."

After deciding to move the capital, Xie Daoqing gave the minister a very "humane" travel expenses and asked him to go his separate ways. This is a historical fact.

"Oh, Master, why are you yelling? Several of them have been killed, and the bodies are still bleeding." Liu Qi stomped his feet and said, "If the emperor hears it, it's not a joke."

"Kill a few? Are you reading it right?" Liu Zheng just didn't believe that the Song Duzong, who had no courage on weekdays, would have such courage and dared to attack the ministers like them.

"Oh, Master, how dare I lie to you? If you don't believe it, go and see it yourself." Liu Qi almost jumped up in a hurry: "Master, the emperor is so majestic. The imperial robe is on his body, majestic, the imperial chariot is covered with sunlight, and the imperial guards stand neatly, as if they are scratched out with a ruler. The axes in his hand are shaking, which makes people feel scared. My heart is still pounding. Master, he is really amazing, not afraid at all. He sits in the front and sits on the table to practice calligraphy."

"Practice calligraphy? When is it now? He still has leisure and elegantness?" Liu Zheng couldn't figure it out and said, "Which is the interest? Come back to the sedan chair, let's go back. Hurry, hurry up, hurry up, go quickly."

As soon as Liu Zheng's sedan was turned, a team of imperial guards ran over and surrounded the sedan guards. The officer announced the decree: "The emperor has an order to order Liu Zheng to see him immediately."

Liu Zheng didn't want to see Li Jun. Looking at the formation of the Imperial Guard, if he didn't go, he would definitely take the people. He had to reluctantly say: "I obey the order." He came out of the sedan chair and went to see Li Jun under the surveillance of the Imperial Guard.

From a distance, I saw the Imperial Guards standing straight in an orderly lineup to protect Li Jun. They were full of pomp and used all the props they could use. I don’t know what Li Jun did. There were several dragon chariots and countless axes. In Liu Zheng’s memory, Duzong had never had such a big pomp.

Li Jun was wearing a robe of the dragon emperor, sitting at the imperial table, writing at the desk, writing quickly, and writing in a dragon and snake manner, very focused. Liu Zheng was about to salute Li Jun, but Zhao Qian said, "Mr. Liu, I have offended you many times. The emperor has an order, and I will send you to see it there."

Liu Zheng came to Zhao Qianzhi's place and saw five corpses hiding from the ground. Blood was flowing out of the wound. One of them was still twitching. It was obvious that he had just died and his vitality was still alive. Liu Zheng knew all these five people, all of whom were ministers in the court, and one of them was the censor.

The Song Dynasty was quite kind to his ministers, and never had any incidents of killing five ministers in a day. Liu Zhen couldn't help but be curious and said, "Mr. Zhao, what crime did he commit?"

"They did not commit crimes, they were just a little timid. When they heard that the Tartars came, they were so scared that they pissed their crotch. They packed up their belongings and wanted to escape. The emperor repeatedly told them that they were obsessed with it. The emperor had no choice but to kill them. Lord Liu, are you leaving now or staying?" Zhao Qian said leisurely. He was a war-protagonist, hoping to fight against the city, and only felt that Li Jun deserved the death of those fleeing ministers.

Liu Zheng found that Zhao Qian's eyes were different from usual, a little bloodthirsty, and his two eyes were a little red. His right hand was placed on the hilt of the knife. As long as his answer could not satisfy Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian would let him have blood splattered on the spot. The sweat beads on Liu Zheng's face oozed out like water, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to stay, I am willing to stay."

"Go over there and stand with them." Zhao Qian pointed, and Liu Zheng discovered that more than a hundred ministers were standing in a corner, trembling and constantly sifting, as if they were naked in the snow and ice. Liu Zheng dared not say anything, so he had to stand obediently.

Not long after, several other ministers wisely chose to stay and were in the same camp as Liu and others.

Liu Zheng looked at Li Jun, but he didn't know what he was doing. He just focused on practicing calligraphy, as if the ministers who wanted to escape were not taken into his eyes. Finally, Li Jun said, "Call them here."

Only then did Liu Zheng and the ministers who chose the camp correctly went over with fear. Liu Zheng glanced at him with a slanted eyes and found that Li Jun was in an extraordinary mood. Practicing calligraphy could no longer represent his good mood. He was still painting, and he just painted something strange and strange. Liu Zheng had never seen it before, and it was thanks to Li Jun having such good imagination that he could imagine it.

What surprised Liu Zheng the most was that one of the papers was written on the "Guerrilla War Manual". Liu Zheng had never heard of what guerrilla warfare was, and it felt very fresh. If he were normal, he would definitely ask Li Jun with the good quality of "not ashamed to ask". Now he could not stroke the tiger's beard, so he had to keep this question in his heart.

Li Jun put down his pen, looked at the pitiful ministers and said, "Do you still dare to escape?"

"I dare not, I dare not again." Liu Zheng and the others were busy saluting and answering.

"If someone dares to say the word "escaping", they will be your end. You must remember today, cheer up, and do your own thing." Li Jun glanced at the ministers majesticly and said coldly, every word is so cold, which made Liu Zheng and the others shudder. Du Zong is so terrible, which has never been seen in Liu Zheng's memory.

Li Jun stood up, sorted out the paper paintings on the table, and said, "I'll do something for you. Copy the notice on it 500 copies and go to the city to post." He put a piece of paper on his right hand, picked up a thick stack of calligraphy and paintings, and asked Zhao Qian: "How is Wen Tianxiang going? Have you sent the letter to him back?"

"When you go back to the emperor, I have sent someone according to the emperor's will, but Lord Wen has not come back yet. I will send someone again immediately." Zhao Qian said respectfully.

"Send more people to go, even if you kick over the Mongolian camp, you will also rescue Wen Tianxiang from me." Li Jun issued a majestic order. He picked up the calligraphy and paintings and left surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

Liu Zheng and the others surrounded him and looked at the paper left by Li Jun. It turned out to be a notice to the people to not panic, and the court would protect them.

"The land is not divided into north and south, and they all have the responsibility of defending the territory when the war of resistance." Liu Quan said softly as he said in his heart: "Famous quote."

The court has been arguing endlessly about whether to fight, reconcile, or move the capital, without a conclusion, and the people have been panicked and are startled every day. After the news of Xie Daoqing's decision to move the capital came out, the ministers were scrambling to escape, and the people became even more panicked. Not only were people fluctuating, but they were in a panic all day long, but some people took advantage of the chaos to rape, kill, set fire, smash, loot, and make money, which made it even worse.

Not only did Li Jun’s Anmin notice post be released, a large number of yamen runners and troops took to the streets to maintain public order, and cracked down on those criminals who dared to disturb the people. The number of criminals caught almost filled Lin'an's prisons.

After Li Jun Leiting's method of rectifying, Lin'an's public security has improved greatly and people's hearts have stabilized.

Xie Daoqing decided to move the capital. The ministers were going to flee, and Lin'an would be in vain. If measures were not taken early, even if the war of resistance was to be fought, the problem would be serious. There are many ways to keep the ministers, and persuasion and issuance of orders are good choices, but that would take time. At such a critical moment, Li Jun could not withstand the loss of time. He had to do too many things, so he had to be cruel and choose the quickest and most effective way, which was to speak with a butcher knife.
